Mentoring is an established method of supporting principals as they begin their careers; however, early studies focus on how a veteran principal supports a novice principal in acquiring the skills to manage the school. As the role of a principal has evolved from a building manager to a leader of learning, the role of mentoring has also evolved. The purpose of this study was to explore the mentoring experiences of novice principals and their mentors in a school district’s mentoring program, and how developmental mentoring relationships support novice principals to be leaders of learning. The ?ndings suggest that a strong mentoring relationship can support a novice principal in developing skills to be a leader of learning by clarifying the mentor’s role as a leader of learning, focusing mentoring sessions to build the mentee’s capacity as a leader of learning, and a commitment to mentoring sessions that support teaching and learning. 相似文献

Mastery of academic writing skills remains one of the greatest challenges for university students, especially in the first year. Amongst the reasons offered for the challenges are lack of clarity about the university’s expectations and low levels of teacher feedback on work submitted, a failure to engage, and low levels of contact with teaching staff and other students. Academic staff are challenged by increased class numbers and increased student diversity in classes and university policies to adopt a wide range of information technologies into teaching modes. In this paper, we offer one attempt at addressing these three important contemporary academic challenges: use of information technology to provide timely feedback through formative assessment to help students with a range of abilities to acquire the academic writing skills necessary to succeed in higher education. Early indications show that students find this form of formative assessment very useful. They value the timely and focused feedback from the lecturer and are developing collegiality as they learn from each others’ writing and feedback. We believe that this strategy is sustainable and can be adapted to facilitate academic and social integration for students across many disciplines. 相似文献

The negative consequences of school desegregation on Black families, educators, and communities in the US are well documented
in education research today. The purpose of this article is to examine the experiential knowledge and wisdom of practice of
former Black school superintendents who attended all Black segregated schools and led desegregated school districts. Using
critical race theory as a methodological and analytical framework, I seek to advance our understanding of how the positive
aspects of valued segregated schools can improve Black education today. Findings include Black superintendent reflections of and calls to action concerning separate
and unequal schooling contexts according to the following constituencies: the Black community, the Black parent, the Black
teacher, and the Black student. Building on the participant directives for political engagement and community-based activism,
I conclude with a discussion about transforming Black education through a political race project aimed to resist educational
inequities, advance racial justice, and promote social change in education. 相似文献

More than a conversation: using cogenerative dialogues in the professional development of high school chemistry teachers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This paper focuses on content-based and pedagogical instructors’ use of cogenerative dialogues to improve instructional practice
and to evaluate program effectiveness in a professional development program for high school chemistry teachers. We share our
research findings from using cogenerative dialogues as an evaluative tool for general assessment of various program-related
issues. We discuss how engaging students in cogenerative dialogues improved teaching and learning in chemistry and chemistry
education courses. This research provides insights and direction for improving content-based professional development programs
for science teachers and the learning experiences of high school science students. Cogenerative dialogue has the potential
to expand evaluation methodologies that will position participants more centrally in not only the collection of data, but
also the analysis of these data to catalyze transformative practices in educational programs.

Pre-service teachers from Texas and Indiana in the United States and from Queensland, Australia, observed the Moon for a semester
and compared and contrasted their findings in asynchronous Internet discussion groups. The 188 pre-service teachers were required
to conduct inquiry investigations for their methods coursework which included an initial Moon observation assignment, an Internet
Moon discussion, and a final project. The Moon context was chosen for its motivating capability, its inherent interdisciplinary
makeup, its inclusion in the National Science Education Standards, and its ability to be viewed worldwide. This study was
of a mixed method research design and involved pre-service teachers’ journals, summative reflections, Internet discussions,
final projects, and the Lunar Phases Concept Inventory (LPCI). Analysis of the qualitative data was conducted through the
exploration of patterns and themes that illustrated pre-service teachers’ conceptual development, and the LPCI was administered
as a pre/post assessment. We found that our project led to increased knowledge concerning the mathematics and science involved
with understanding the Moon and its phases. We also found that it was beneficial to have Internet discussions with pre-service
teachers from around the world, but it was not without its problems (e.g., coordinating schedules and lack of participation
by some participants). We discovered that pre-service teachers’ exposure to the new uses of technology for teaching and learning
did not necessarily translate to their planning to adopt similar techniques in their own classrooms. 相似文献

Accurate equating results are essential when comparing examinee scores across exam forms. Previous research indicates that equating results may not be accurate when group differences are large. This study compared the equating results of frequency estimation, chained equipercentile, item response theory (IRT) true‐score, and IRT observed‐score equating methods. Using mixed‐format test data, equating results were evaluated for group differences ranging from 0 to .75 standard deviations. As group differences increased, equating results became increasingly biased and dissimilar across equating methods. Results suggest that the size of group differences, the likelihood that equating assumptions are violated, and the equating error associated with an equating method should be taken into consideration when choosing an equating method. 相似文献

This article explains (a) why racial literacy—an understanding of the origins and function of race in US schools and society—is essential to the work of educational leaders, and (b) how educational leaders can improve their leadership through racial literacy. It introduces the concept of racial literacy as a first step to improving school leadership practices, to be followed by racial realism, racial reconstruction, and racial reconciliation in racially diverse school communities. The article concludes with recommendations and resources designed to advance the racial literacy of educational leaders and their teams as part of a broader commitment to inclusion and social justice in US schools. 相似文献
